Can we call you Philly X now?
No you bloody well can't!! And much as I dislike the bloke, I have to admit I'm not worthy... :P
Initial impressions.... this is a very different type of PRS. First thing you notice is how light it is - like
ludicrously light. Then you notice how resonant it is - I've been sitting just strumming across the open strings and letting them ring!
It feels quite different from the regular Mira. For me, the fatter 22-fret neck and shorter scale feel instantly more comfortable. The body's more of a "slab", but there's contouring where it matters so you hardly notice the difference. It's a little bit neck-heavy (rather like my Thinline Tele) but it's so light you can easily manhandle it into place.
Soundwise, we shall see... I haven't plugged it in yet, so it'll be interesting to see if all that resonance translates into the amplified tone (doesn't always, in my limited experience). Acoustically, it seems more "present", less bassy than my other PRSes (Mira and McCarty Korina). I'll learn more tomorrow! :D
